David Forsmark and Ben Johnson have already demolished the hypocritical attempts to mischaracterize the crowds as fanatics, and on â€œHannity,â€ Bachmann highlighted one of the real reasons the protestors would have gotten under the skin of more than a couple Democrats:

People didnâ€™t just come to hear speakers; they then pivoted, fanned out, went into the Capitol, went into the office buildings, were very polite, went from door to door to door, knocked on the doors.Â We handed out, actually pages, actual pages from the bill.Â People would take one page, and then theyâ€™d carry that page and ask members of Congress, â€œCan you read this to me and explain it to me so that it makes sense?â€

UPDATE: It turns out that the videos Fox played during this segment included footage from the September 12 Tea Party, presented as if it was from Bachmannâ€™s rally instead.Â Comedy Centralâ€™s Jon Stewart first called attention to it, and last night Hannity apologized, calling it an inadvertent mistake.Â Leftists, of course, will insist it was deliberate, all the while ignoring deceptive video use from other networks.Â But intentional or not, misleading video is misleading video, and Sean Hannity and Fox News deserved to be called out on it.
